You double clicked on the Install.exe on your desktop. That opened the Directory containing the Install.exe. You double clicked on the Install.exe which started the installation. The Extrator was the first image to appear. After the Extractor there was a Progress Bar titled "_WDINST". I believe this is where the problem exists.

When I double click on the Install.exe in the Directory, the extractor never appears. The first thing I see is the _WDINST Progress Bar and it only appears for a second or two.

There is something in your code or on my machine (and others) that won't let the extractor start.

This is a little drawn out so, please be patient and read the entire post.

the first thing I did was to go to Control Panel>System>Advanced Tab>Performance>Settings>Data Execution Prevention and "turned on DEP for all programs and services except those I select." Rebooted.

I then went to the directory containing the unzipped Install.exe and double clicked on the file. I got the following error messages:

I then went to the Temp file mentioned in the last image. There I found a lomg list of WD_xx files from all the attempts to load the software. I opened one of thes files and found five files: _WDINST.zip, INSTALL.EXE, INSTALL.ZIP, WDCLEAN.EXE and WDCLEAN.INI.

I extracted the _WDINST.ZIP to my Windows temp file, opened the Mes Projets>QMC>EXE and double clicked on QMC.exe and finally success.

If there is any furthur information from the error message files you would like, let me know and I will send you screen shots.

It's well known problem with your xp configuration, you do not needed to turn data prevention for all programs.it's used only for databases and others programms runnings in nt services.Let data preventon on nt services only and then look if the temp directory is not protected with a lot of specifics rights acces. Qmc is not installed with any databases or others nt services.More excesifs security is not always the best way to maintain a clean xp install.no adware or spy in Qmc.

I'm having a similar problem with the installer the WDCsetup.exe appears in the task manager and stays at 50% cpu usage. The installation window opens up and aks for the language to be selcted but the egg timer is in place of the cursor and the installer stops responding.

If I start in safe mode I can install the program without problem and run it. when i reboot I have the same problem again, except this time the program starts but immediately stops responding and the task manager says it is using 50% of the cpu power!

I am using windows XP home with sp3. My firewall has found the program and allowed it to run.

Made no difference disabling the anit-virus/firewall, program still would not run.

uninstalled anti virus/firewall no difference.

uninstalled program and rebooted. Program will not install still locks up at language selction screen.

right clicked on install.exe and selected properties. In general tab there was a notice saying this program has come from a different computer and may have been blocked. Click on the unblock button and clicked on apply. Again tried to install still same issues. run out of ideas and need protection so trying new anti-virus from bitdefender.
